Using never-before-seen 16mm footage recovered from the Roland-Garros archives, filmmaker Julien Faraut creates an immersive non-traditional documentary that profiles American tennis legend John McEnroe at the height of his career. Through a focus on the sport, the human body, and movement, Faraut emphasizes McEnroe’s grace, perfectionist nature, unique left-handed style, and infamous temper. The film essay crescendos with the most devastating loss of McEnroe’s career, at the 1984 Roland-Garros French Open. The acclaimed documentary won a 2018 Critics’ Choice Award and the Grand Jury Prize at the 2018 Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival.
